Bonnie Cannon
Bonnie started West Coast Swing dancing at 14. Prior to that, she did a little gymnastics and some Bellydance, which gave her a unique foundation for WCS. She started teaching WCS by herself in 2008, and began partnering with Jerome in 2012.
Margie Tuttle
Margie Tuttle is from Gaithersburg, Maryland, and grew up in the West Coast Swing world. Started out learning ballet, tap & jazz, eventually learning west coast swing. Now an All Star level competitor, she continues to compete all over from the east coast to the west coast and excited to share this dance! She is a full time instructor, DJ & judge!
Lamarr Wiliford
Lamarr has been dancing since 2011. He began with Latin dance, shortly after, he became hooked on WCS. Lamarr has continued to improve his abilities by learning many other dances. Lamarr has shifted his focus on teaching and community building. He believes that, in order for dance to grow, community and exposure are very important. He focuses most of his time on spreading the joy of dance!
Doug Rousar
Doug Rousar has an extensive background in musical theater, having held the positions of Actor, Director, Choreographer, Conductor and Producer for many productions. This background comes out in full force in Doug’s contributions to the West Coast Swing world, in which he is the creator and director of much-loved events and competitions – including the new Swing 16 tournament tour, offered at UDC since 2016. Initially a musician, Doug’s formal training in dance began when he stumbled upon West Coast Swing...

Mike has been a professional certified dancer, choreographer and judge for 35 years. He has produced numerous National and World Champions during his career. They are both actively involved with both social and competitive dancers and venues in central and south Mississippi.
Ryan and Alaina
Alaina Rogozhin and Ryan Pflumm, are a competitive couple currently competing in the Rising Star division! Alaina says that Ryan is gregarious, outgoing and a natural leader. He never meets a stranger. While he didn’t find his dance journey until later in life, he makes up for that lost time with his intense desire to analyze and understand the dance to the full degree. He is passionate about learning, teaching and competing in west coast swing and wants nothing more than to give his knowledge to anyone who wants it. Ryan likes to call Alaina the "Silent Assassin.” When you meet her she is quiet, polite, kind and a typical introvert. As soon as you get her on the dance floor, however, you have unleashed the beast.
